Not just a bad day – Understanding and Supporting Students with Depression and Self Injury

December 7, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm MDT

This session will help caregivers increase awareness about adolescents who might be experiencing sadness, depression and intentionally injuring themselves. We will explore factors that contribute to depression and the motivation behind self-injurious behavior. Caregivers will learn practical strategies and resources to support youth experiencing depression who may be self-injuring.

These free sessions are intended to provide parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members with basic information about addiction and mental health challenges that can impact children and youth.
